Have you contacted the BBC directly? The best way to prevent any kind of confusion would be to have the BBC update their description on YouTube with that information. Even better, you could ask them to re-upload the video and provide credit on ad itself. Also, what do you mean by "this ad as it has got into the wrong hands"? The ad is being freely distributed online by the BBC. What kind of "wrong hands" are you referring to? Samanatha – This sounds like and issue between RKCR/Y&R & BBC.
